This post was written on behalf of Vacasa. Opinions are my own and information is coming from statements on the the Vacasa website. I received compensation for my post in the form of a gift.

Growing up we had vacation homes. My father and his friend built one in New Hampshire and we would go up their in the Winter and the Summer. The winters then were so much fun because there was always a ton of snow. We’d sled down one of the streets because it was completely covered and there were hardly any people around. We’d go from our street all the way down the large hill to the pond. We’d also go to the local ski resorts and more. Winters were some of the best times to spend at that house.

With my own kids we have not done much in the way of Winter vacations but if we were to start looking for one to rent or one to buy then we could start with the website Vacasa. The website has everything that you need if you are looking into vacation homes. They have vacation rentals, property management and real estate. There is everything you want in order for you and your family to enjoy Winter vacations all over. If you are not sure exactly where you want to go then Vacasa has got you covered with their Winter Vacation Report. Continue reading Winter Vacation Options Are Abundant on Vacasa

Become a Part of History at these Two Locations in Branson

At the Branson Ferris Wheel

During my trip to Branson, Missouri I made a couple of stops at places of historic significance. They were the Branson Ferris Wheel and the Titanic Museum. I was in Branson for a special press tour. I paid my travel to get there and once there the hotel, shows and meals were taken care of. Opinions of all events and shows are my own.

One of the places that we visited was the Branson Ferris Wheel. This very tall Ferris Wheel did not originate in Branson, in fact I had seen this same Ferris Wheel before in Chicago. It was on Navy Pier from 1995 – 2015. Then it was dismantled and moved to Branson where it opened for rides in 2016. The Branson Ferris Wheel is part of the Track Family Fun Parks. This includes several Go Kart tracks, which we did not ride and I so wanted to do that. Maybe on my next trip. There are so many things to do at the Track Family Fun Parks.

Branson Ferris Wheel

The Branson Ferris Wheel stands at 150 feet tall, it can hold 240 riders in its 40 gondolas at the same time and has 16,000 LED lights that light up the night sky on the Branson entertainment corridor. You can see all of the entertainment corridor from the top of the Branson Ferris Wheel and at night you can see its lights dancing on the skyline. One night we had just left one of the shows and I and looked over at the Branson Ferris Wheel. It was beautiful. I loved the dancing lights and designs that were made on the Branson Ferris Wheel.
